Issue : https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CARBONDATA-849 The error message getting while running alter on the non existing table is : Exception in thread "main" org.apache.carbondata.spark.exception.MalformedCarbonCommandException: Unsupported alter operation on hive table but this is not correct. The hive table has blocked the alter DDL on its tables. So Carbon should be consistent with HIVE. Correct msg : Operation not allowed: alter table name compact 'minor' You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running: $ git pull https://github.com/ravikiran23/incubator-carbondata alter-msg-correction Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at: https://github.com/apache/incubator-carbondata/pull/725.patch To close this pull request, make a commit to your master/trunk branch with (at least) the following in the commit message: This closes #725 ---- commit 59ce893dcb1fe334b6cbee9be4c5ffc8d6fa816f Author: ravikiran <ravikiran.sn...@gmail.com> Date: 2017-04-04T09:43:25Z Issue : https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CARBONDATA-849 ---- --- If your project is set up for it, you can reply to this email and have your reply appear on GitHub as well.
